You can now get original Elder Scrolls games, Id classics and Interplay's Fallout games (again) at Good Old Games.

Arena and Daggerfall are already free to begin with, so that "free with purchase" seems misleading.

Are they?

Yep, been free on Bethesda's website for years now.

I just saw that, the benefit of getting it through GOG is you don't have fool around with DOS box, they already come configured in a DOS Box wrapper.

 

[ThePhantasm]

True, but GOG isn't the first site to offer the game configured that way, and on the other sites no purchase is necessary.

As for Morrowind and the other two games, pretty sure they are available on Steam, are they not?

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Morrowind is, the other two are not. The other sites that offer the game DOS Box ready are less than reputable.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Really? Boxer is reputable and free, and if you've got a Mac you can get Daggerfall pre-configured for your computer through Boxer easily.

Did not know Boxer was a thing.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Yeah, its the way to go if you want to play DOS games on a Mac. There's a similar program for Windows which pre-configures DOSBOX games for you, but I forget what its called.

I believe that's D Fend, I used it to play Dark Seed back when Giger died. It works well enough. I'm still waiting on a proper GOG release of that game as well, but its abandon ware so there's no telling when or if that will ever happen.
